Braves, let's say his market if he opst out is 7/140
Let's say his market if he stays with the deal is 5/100 at the end of the his current deal.
If he opts out he is then going to lose money, as he would have opted out of 10M$ dollars or so.
If he can still get a longer deal at the end of the current one he loses even more. Opting out can cost him cash quite easily, as he would be forgoing 50M$ guarunteed.

A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
